Prime Minister Narendra had announced the extension of the Lockdown till May 3rd. The guidelines for Lockdown 2.0 will be announced tomorrow. Modi, however, said all districts, localities, states will be closely monitored till April 20th, as to how strictly they are implementing norms.
He hinted that the important activities with certain conditions may be allowed after April 20th in states which will not let hotspots increase. This seems to be a good proposal for India even though there are huge financial implications but YSR Congress Government and the party’s supporters were very disappointed with this announcement.
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy in a video conference with the Prime Minister said that the Lockdown should be confined only to the Red Zones. From the past few days, National media is abuzz with the speculations that the Zonal System may be implemented by the Government of India.
YSR Congress has increased its PR activity saying that Jagan is becoming the Torchbearer of the nation even though he is inexperienced. But all that has come to a screeching halt as Modi made no reference to the three-zones systems. AP Government is also disappointed as it is keen on resuming the economy and conduct the Local Elections as soon as possible.
